Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Flexbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
