What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
