Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Golynos use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Golynos
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Golynos
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
