Signs you need sink repair in Pentre
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
