DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Talyclun
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Questions from Talyclun
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Talyclun?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
