Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Lydford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in West Lydford
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
