Sink repair in Banwen without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Banwen
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Banwen
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
