About our sink repair in Penygloddfa
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Penygloddfa questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Penygloddfa?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Common problems we fix in Penygloddfa
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
