Materials and what they mean for the repair

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Lyndon
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Lyndon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lyndon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Lyndon. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Lyndon?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What affects the price in Lyndon
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
