DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Maesteg, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive

- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
