What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Llancarfan
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

What else we do in Llancarfan
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Llancarfan. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF62 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
