Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Common problems we fix in Rhayader
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Questions from Rhayader
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much does sink repair cost in Rhayader?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LD6 postcode.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LD6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhayader
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
