Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Pen-yr-heol?

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
