FAQs for Pontyfelin
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Sink repair in Pontyfelin, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontyfelin use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Pontyfelin
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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’s 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.
