How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llay. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Llay

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
