About our sink repair in Llwyncelyn
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Llwyncelyn and across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Llwyncelyn questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Llwyncelyn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
