How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Tremorfa
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Tremorfa

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
