Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Swineshead?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
