DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
