If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

About our sink repair in Winch Wen
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Winch Wen questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Landlord and trade work in Winch Wen
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Do you need sink repair in Winch Wen?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
