When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Glan-llyn
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Glan-llyn questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Glan-llyn?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Glan-llyn and the rest of Cardiff. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
