DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair in Cantref without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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 chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
