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.
Sink repair in Bryn Gates, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Bryn Gates
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bryn Gates?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bryn Gates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
