Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Balkholme get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
