Should you replace it?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Rhymney
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Rhymney included. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Rhymney
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Other services in Rhymney
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 normally cheaper.
