Sink repair in Upper Killay, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Killay and across Swansea.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
