Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Lea by Backford: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Advice
What affects the price in Lea by Backford
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lea by Backford. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
