Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Resolfen
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are there extra charges for Resolfen?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Resolfen?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
