Roath Park: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Sink repair in Roath Park, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
When to call us in Roath Park
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace in Roath Park?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
