Sink repair in Bedlinog without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bedlinog, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
