About our sink repair in Gurnos
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gurnos and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When to call us in Gurnos
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Gurnos questions
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gurnos?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gurnos, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gurnos, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
