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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Bank Top
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
