Your questions about sink repair in Duffryn
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How much does sink repair cost in Duffryn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Duffryn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Duffryn
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
