DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle sink repair in Pontywaun
We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Pontywaun: your questions answered
Do you cover Pontywaun?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pontywaun and the rest of Caerphilly. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Caerphilly. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pontywaun. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
