Sink repair in Aberkenfig, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Aberkenfig
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
FAQs for Aberkenfig
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
