The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Ystradyfodwg clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
