About our sink repair in Waun-gron
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Waun-gron questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Waun-gron. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
