- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

Foggathorpe: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Foggathorpe?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Foggathorpe
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
