FAQs for Cardiff
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and clean up when we finish.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked sink?
Many cracks can, especially on the rim or front edge. If it leaks, replacement may be safer.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Sink repair at your home in Cardiff
Where we can, we keep the maker’s mark on period basins. Chips and cracks are repaired with the basin in place, so there’s no plumbing to disturb. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and damage around taps and wastes.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
