Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go 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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know

Questions from Coppenhall
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire East.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
