Other services in Whitehill
Different materials, different repairs
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
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Whitehill
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Whitehill
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:

- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
