Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
