Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Questions from Pontlliw
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pontlliw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
