What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
