How we handle sink repair in Hengoed
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Honest limits

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
