Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Magdalen Laver
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Magdalen Laver?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Magdalen Laver and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
