What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go 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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
