DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are dealing with chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

When to call us in Cefn Glas
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cefn Glas, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
