What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
