Sink repair in Tonypandy without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
