Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
