What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

About our sink repair in Cefn Hengoed

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
