DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle sink repair in Ynyswen
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Ynyswen
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace in Ynyswen?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
