DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair at your home in Y Gelli Gandryll
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Y Gelli Gandryll
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
