Sink repair in Rhydlafr, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rhydlafr. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rhydlafr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. In an older home in a village like Rhydlafr, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
