What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Ysbyty Ifan: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ysbyty Ifan.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Ysbyty Ifan?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ysbyty Ifan

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
