Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-tŵyn
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
