Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tan Office Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
