The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in Marchwiel
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Marchwiel. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
