What we cannot put right

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What affects the price in Tai'r Bull
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Tai'r Bull, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need sink repair in Tai'r Bull
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Common questions in Tai'r Bull
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
