Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
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.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
