DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle sink repair in Trebannws
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Trebannws questions
Do you work in Trebannws?
We do. We send a technician to Trebannws for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Trebannws?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
