Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about sink repair in Cwmdu
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cwmdu. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
