About our sink repair in Cwmbychan
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
