Sink repair in Skewen, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skewen and across Neath Port Talbot.

Repairing versus replacing in Skewen
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once

- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skewen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
