Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Cyncoed
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
