Hillam: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hillam included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Hillam?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillam. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Hillam
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Hillam
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
