The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
