Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Moorwood Moor
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Moorwood Moor. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Moorwood Moor get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
