Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Sink repair at your home in Nant-y-cafn
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Nant-y-cafn
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Nant-y-cafn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nant-y-cafn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nant-y-cafn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
