Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What affects the price in Brightwalton
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Brightwalton
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
