DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Kingswood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
