DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our sink repair in Castle-upon-Alun
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Castle-upon-Alun
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Castle-upon-Alun
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
