Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.
About our sink repair in Washwood Heath
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Washwood Heath as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Washwood Heath
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
