Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Porth Teigr get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need sink repair in Porth Teigr
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.

Questions from Porth Teigr
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Porth Teigr?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What else we do in Porth Teigr
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Porth Teigr
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
