Sink repair in Waun-ceirch without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.
