What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberriw
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Questions from Aberriw
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Aberriw
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips

- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included

- How the room is protected while they work

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
