Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Ely
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin

What else we do in Ely
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Common questions in Ely
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Ely?
We do. We send a technician to Ely for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
