Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once

Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Lobthorpe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

For anyone letting property in or around Lobthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
