Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Caer Estyn: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
