About our sink repair in Llancaiach
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
