What your basin is made of matters
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
