What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tongwynlais. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Tongwynlais

What your basin is made of matters

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
