About our sink repair in Rhyd-y-groes
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Rhyd-y-groes questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Rhyd-y-groes?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Rhyd-y-groes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL57 postcode.
Common problems we fix in Rhyd-y-groes
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rhyd-y-groes. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should you replace it?
