Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When to call us in Matfield
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
