Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
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 quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Ystrad Aeron questions
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
