Common questions in Sully and Lavernock
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Sully and Lavernock?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sully and Lavernock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Sully and Lavernock clients choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Sully and Lavernock and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
