Sink repair in Llanmaes, done in place

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. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Llanmaes

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Llanmaes

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Llanmaes and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Llanmaes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llanmaes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you need sink repair in Llanmaes?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
