Sink & basin repair in Whitchurch, Cardiff
Sink repair in and around Whitchurch: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About our sink repair in Whitchurch
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Whitchurch
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Whitchurch?
We do. Technicians travel to Whitchurch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
