Sink repair in Llan-fair without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Llan-fair
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llan-fair use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Llan-fair
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repairing versus replacing in Llan-fair
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
