What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How to compare quotes

Bon-y-maen questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swansea.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bon-y-maen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
