How we handle sink repair in Argoed
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Argoed. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Argoed questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Caerphilly, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
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.
Do you come to Argoed?
We do. Technicians travel to Argoed from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Signs you need sink repair in Argoed
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
