About our sink repair in Capel Hendre
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Questions from Capel Hendre
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Landlord and trade work in Capel Hendre
If you manage property in Capel Hendre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Capel Hendre
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Capel Hendre. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
