Sink repair in Bleatarn without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- 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 hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Bleatarn

Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Repairing versus replacing in Bleatarn
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
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 quote, not an estimate.
