Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Cwm Talwg
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Cwm Talwg?
We do. Technicians travel to Cwm Talwg from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Cwm Talwg
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace in Cwm Talwg?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
