Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Philipshill
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlord and trade work in Philipshill
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
