Y Fan: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you come to Y Fan?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Y Fan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Y Fan. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Y Fan
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Y Fan customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
