Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Penydarren. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Penydarren get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Penydarren without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penydarren. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Penydarren
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF47 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
