About our sink repair in Penberth
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Common questions in Penberth
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
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 will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
