Sink repair in St Arvans, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Arvans. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in St Arvans?

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around St Arvans, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from St Arvans
Do you cover St Arvans?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Arvans and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
