Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Ystradowen

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
