What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about sink repair in Maindy
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
