Sink repair in Gwern Estyn without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gwern Estyn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwern Estyn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Gwern Estyn?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
