How we handle sink repair in Trehafren
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Trehafren questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Trehafren?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Trehafren included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
