- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
