Common questions in Dinas
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How we handle sink repair in Dinas
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Dinas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Dinas, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
