Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
About our sink repair in Pen-y-Glodfa
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Pen-y-Glodfa: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-Glodfa
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-y-Glodfa
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
