Sink repair at your home in Rhyd-y-gwin
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.

Rhyd-y-gwin questions
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA6 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rhyd-y-gwin. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Rhyd-y-gwin get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repair or replace in Rhyd-y-gwin?

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
