Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
FAQs for Trehafod
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Trehafod?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Trehafod and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need sink repair in Trehafod
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
