About our sink repair in Blaengwrach
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Blaengwrach
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs

- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Blaengwrach
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Blaengwrach and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
