Sink repair in Hernston without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bridgend and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
