- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Corringham
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Repairing versus replacing in Corringham
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
