About our sink repair in Gwernesney
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Gwernesney
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
