What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What affects the price in Seaton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Seaton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
