Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

FAQs for Afon-wen
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Afon-wen?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Afon-wen. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Afon-wen
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
