Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Mockbeggar
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Mockbeggar. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Mockbeggar
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
