What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Bescaby without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Bescaby
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
