How we handle sink repair in Aberthin
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aberthin: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How much does sink repair cost in Aberthin?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Aberthin
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aberthin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Aberthin
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
