About our sink repair in Licswm
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need sink repair in Licswm
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Licswm use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
