Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Sparsholt
Landlord and trade work in Sparsholt
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Sparsholt questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
