Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Sink repair in Waunfawr without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waunfawr use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
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 usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
