Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Lighthorne
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
