Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Chappel
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Chappel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
