Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aberaman questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Aberaman.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Common problems we fix in Aberaman
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
