- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos

When to call us in Rowlands Gill
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
