Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in Weare Giffard, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
