Composite and resin

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair in Insch without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Insch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
FAQs for Insch
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Insch?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB52 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
