Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Felin-Gerrig, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need sink repair in Felin-Gerrig?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
