Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Prees Wood. What changes the price is:

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
