DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Tonyrefail
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Questions from Tonyrefail
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Advice
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
