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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pentwyn-mawr. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Pentwyn-mawr

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pentwyn-mawr as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Pentwyn-mawr

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
