Materials and what they mean for the repair

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
