Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in St Athan?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries

St Athan questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in St Athan.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Should you replace it?

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
