Sink repair in Penfilia, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in Penfilia
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Penfilia included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penfilia
If you manage property in Penfilia, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Penfilia
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
