Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Do I have to be there?

What affects the price in Halmore
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Halmore. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Halmore and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Halmore
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
