What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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 your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
