Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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 Victoria Garesfield
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Victoria Garesfield
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Victoria Garesfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Victoria Garesfield
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Victoria Garesfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Victoria Garesfield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
