DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Foston questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace in Foston?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Foston. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
