Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clwt-y-bont
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
