Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Llanfihangel Ystrad
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanfihangel Ystrad as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Llanfihangel Ystrad
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The whole UK, including all of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
