Sink repair in Llanrumney without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanrumney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
