Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Llanwarne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We do not 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 price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Llanwarne questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Llanwarne?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
