What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Flookburgh
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
