Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Hillend
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
