When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Y Waun. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about sink repair in Y Waun
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Y Waun
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
