Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Penhelyg
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penhelyg. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penhelyg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
