Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Leonard Stanley
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Leonard Stanley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Leonard Stanley
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
