Your questions about sink repair in Llanrhidian Higher
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How we handle sink repair in Llanrhidian Higher
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

Landlord and trade work in Llanrhidian Higher
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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 photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
