The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Y Drenewydd
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Y Drenewydd?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Y Drenewydd
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
