Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Renishaw, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 we are called out for in Renishaw
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
