Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
Across the UK, so Dafen is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?

How do I get a price for sink repair in Dafen?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Dafen
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
