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.
About our sink repair in South Lambeth
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures

- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
South Lambeth questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including South Lambeth and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
