Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Pontamman questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Pontamman?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Pontamman
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
