Fixed-price sink repair in Saint Andras and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Sink repair in Saint Andras without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Saint Andras as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in Saint Andras
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin

Saint Andras questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Saint Andras and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Saint Andras. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
