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.
Sink repair at your home in Upper Loads

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
