When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Waen-pentir
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Waen-pentir
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Do you need sink repair in Waen-pentir?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
