- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gorran Haven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorran Haven
For anyone letting property in or around Gorran Haven, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
