About our sink repair in Newcastle Emlyn
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Newcastle Emlyn questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newcastle Emlyn.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Newcastle Emlyn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newcastle Emlyn and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Newcastle Emlyn
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Newcastle Emlyn?
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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
