Sink Repair for Pontllyfni homes

- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Pontllyfni
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
