About our sink repair in Gwaun Treoda
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Gwaun Treoda
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Do you need sink repair in Gwaun Treoda?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Gwaun Treoda questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Gwaun Treoda. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
