The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
