When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
