How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Rhydwaedlyd
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.
What you get with us

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Rhydwaedlyd
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
