A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberdare
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need sink repair in Aberdare?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aberdare: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
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 won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
