Sink repair in Blackwood, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Blackwood: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Blackwood?
We do. Technicians travel to Blackwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
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?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
