Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Locksbottom: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Locksbottom
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
