Common questions in Pentre-llyn
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Pentre-llyn included. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
