Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

What affects the price in Green Owlers

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Green Owlers. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

For a price in Green Owlers, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you manage property in Green Owlers, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
