How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pwll-mawr. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material

Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
