About our sink repair in Mount Pleasant
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. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Mount Pleasant
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in Mount Pleasant
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TS20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Questions from Mount Pleasant
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does sink repair cost in Mount Pleasant?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS20 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
