Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
