Sink & basin repair in Trefil, Blaenau Gwent
Fixed-price sink repair in Trefil and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Trefil
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
