Signs you need sink repair in Dyffryn Cennen

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Dyffryn Cennen: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
