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, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in West Hoathly
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
