Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Foals Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
