How we handle sink repair in Duffryn
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
In a smaller place like Duffryn, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. A chip is typically a short visit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it. Around Duffryn, access and parking are usually easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What affects the price in Duffryn
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Duffryn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Duffryn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Around Duffryn, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
