Sink repair in Llanfair Caereinion without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Llanfair Caereinion. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Llanfair Caereinion questions
Do you cover Llanfair Caereinion?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llanfair Caereinion from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Llanfair Caereinion, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanfair Caereinion
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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
