Sink repair in Llan-giwg, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Llan-giwg
Can you repair an antique basin?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
