How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cabus
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
