Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Machynlleth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Machynlleth?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
