How we handle sink repair in Rhyd-y-clafdy
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 affects the price in Rhyd-y-clafdy
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhyd-y-clafdy use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Rhyd-y-clafdy
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.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Rhyd-y-clafdy?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
