Sink repair in Dyfaty without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
More services for Dyfaty
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

- A chipped vanity basin

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Dyfaty questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Dyfaty?
We do. Technicians travel to Dyfaty from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
