Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Ffynnon Taf
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Ffynnon Taf
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does sink repair cost in Ffynnon Taf?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ffynnon Taf use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Ffynnon Taf
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
