Sink repair in Llanarth without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What else we do in Llanarth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Llanarth questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Llanarth included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanarth. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
When to call us in Llanarth
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
