Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
