Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Helhoughton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Through cracks that let water out
