How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Tondu: your questions answered

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tondu.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Tondu

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
