Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ynysddu. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ynysddu. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
