Sink repair in Began 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. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Began. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Began
How soon can you come?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
