Should you replace it?
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Tir-y-dail questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tir-y-dail?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work in Tir-y-dail?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tir-y-dail and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
