The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Lower Layham: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
