If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Locksgreen
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. Somewhere like Locksgreen needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
