Sink Repair for Ynysybwl homes

- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Ynysybwl questions
Will there be a smell?

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
We don’t 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
