How we handle sink repair in Brithdir
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Brithdir
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How much does sink repair cost in Brithdir?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When to call us in Brithdir
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- Fine cracks across the glaze

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brithdir. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brithdir. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
