Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What else we do in Cwmtillery
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What sink repair costs

- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwmtillery use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
