When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What we are called out for in Hendy-Gwyn

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

We cover the whole UK, including Hendy-Gwyn and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, 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.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hendy-Gwyn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hendy-Gwyn. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
