Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Pontcanna questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Pontcanna?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Pontcanna?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pontcanna for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What else we do in Pontcanna
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
