- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Lapford, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
