Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

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:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

How to compare quotes

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

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
