How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
FAQs for Inverleith
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
