How we handle sink repair in Brynmill
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Brynmill
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swansea.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

- A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
If you’re in Brynmill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.
