Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
