Do you need sink repair in Greenhill?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Landlords with property near Swansea station (in Greenhill itself) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it. For a home in Greenhill, we normally park close by and start immediately.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What your basin is made of matters
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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Greenhill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greenhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Greenhill
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Greenhill?
Normally, yes. Older basins are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Do you work for landlords with property near Swansea station?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. For a home around Greenhill where the basin is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
