Sink repair in Glenside, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Glenside
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Glenside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Glenside and the rest of Caerphilly. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Glenside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
