Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair at your home in Efail Isaf
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Efail Isaf as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Efail Isaf, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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 we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
