Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Wheatley Lane
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Wheatley Lane
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- 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
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
