Advice
About our sink repair in Cwmavon
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Cwmavon
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwmavon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Cwmavon
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
