Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
