What your basin is made of matters
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 frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Castletown
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Castletown?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
