Repairs by material

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we handle sink repair in Low Nibthwaite
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair can’t fix

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
