Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

10 questions to ask before you book

Oystermouth: your questions answered

How do I get a price for sink repair in Oystermouth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA3 postcode.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Oystermouth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
