Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Avening, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Avening
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
