Sink repair at your home in Tal-y-bont
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tal-y-bont. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Related advice
Do you need sink repair in Tal-y-bont?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What else we do in Tal-y-bont
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
