How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Common problems we fix in Biggin
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
