Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work 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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Signs you need sink repair in Westley
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
