Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Advice
Repair or replace in Thorne Coffin?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need sink repair in Thorne Coffin?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
