What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Holmfield
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Holmfield questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you work in Holmfield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holmfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
