DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair at your home in Coed Ystumgwern
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Coed Ystumgwern, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
