Sink repair at your home in Cwmfelin
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common questions in Cwmfelin
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What we are called out for in Cwmfelin
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
