Sink repair at your home in Dyffryn
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Signs you need sink repair in Dyffryn
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Dyffryn and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
