How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Penylan
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Penylan
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
