Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our sink repair in Aberfan
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aberfan questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Aberfan?
We do. We send a technician to Aberfan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF48 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
