Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.

Downham questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
