Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Fankerton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Fankerton: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Fankerton?
We do. We send a technician to Fankerton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
