What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Merthyr Tydfil
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin 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:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair

- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
