Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Llyswen
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover the whole of Powys?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
