Sink repair in Pencader, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
