Sink repair in Coed-y-paen, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coed-y-paen as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about sink repair in Coed-y-paen
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Coed-y-paen and the rest of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When to call us in Coed-y-paen
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
