What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Friars Cliff?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
