Sink repair in Minffordd, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
