DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Abercarn
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Repairing versus replacing in Abercarn
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Abercarn
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Signs you need sink repair in Abercarn
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
