How we handle sink repair in Cwmbwrla
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Cwmbwrla
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Cwmbwrla included. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Cwmbwrla?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cwmbwrla for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cwmbwrla. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
