Sink repair in Llwyncelyn, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Llwyncelyn
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Llwyncelyn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llwyncelyn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Llwyncelyn
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Llwyncelyn
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
