Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Royal Tunbridge Wells questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Landlord and trade work in Royal Tunbridge Wells
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Royal Tunbridge Wells as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Signs you need sink repair in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Repairing versus replacing in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
