Sink repair at your home in Gelli-groes
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Gelli-groes
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Common questions in Gelli-groes
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gelli-groes use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
