Sink Repair for Dunvant homes
We travel to Dunvant for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Dunvant
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dunvant. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dunvant. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What else we do in Dunvant
Landlord and trade work in Dunvant
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunvant as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Dunvant
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swansea.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
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.
