Sink repair in Fron without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Fron
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Fron?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LD1 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Fron?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fron. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
