About our sink repair in Pentwyn
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Pentwyn
For anyone letting property in or around Pentwyn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
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 get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
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.

FAQs for Pentwyn
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in Pentwyn
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
