What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in Waunarlwydd
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Waunarlwydd questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Waunarlwydd?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
