How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Lostwithiel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
