Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
