Sink repair at your home in Trevethin
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Trevethin
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Trevethin and the rest of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Torfaen.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trevethin
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need sink repair in Trevethin
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
