DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dawdon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dawdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
