Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Questions from Gelligaer
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Gelligaer?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gelligaer. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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 polish the repair to suit.
