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
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in Aberhafesp
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Aberhafesp
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Aberhafesp questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
