Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Lydgate?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Lydgate
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Questions from Lydgate
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Lydgate?
We do. We send a technician to Lydgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
