About our sink repair in Merlin's Cross
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. We are frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Merlin's Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Merlin's Cross: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Merlin's Cross and the rest of Pembrokeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Merlin's Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Merlin's Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Merlin's Cross
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When a repair is not the answer

- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
