What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

- Vanity unit basins

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For anyone letting property in or around Pen-y-lan, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Pen-y-lan
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
