When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cwmcarnhywel and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Cwmcarnhywel: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Cwmcarnhywel
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cwmcarnhywel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
