Sink & basin repair in Garth Place, Caerphilly
Our technicians come to Garth Place for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Repairing versus replacing in Garth Place
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
