Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

FAQs for Gwestydd
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
