Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our sink repair in Pen-y-maes
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
FAQs for Pen-y-maes
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
