What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in Groes-faen
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Repair or replace in Groes-faen?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
