Sink repair at your home in Mayals
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Mayals
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Mayals
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Mayals
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
