About our sink repair in Llanhiledd
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
How it 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 any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Common questions in Llanhiledd
Is the work guaranteed?

All of Blaenau Gwent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you leave a mess?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What affects the price in Llanhiledd
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
