Sink repair in Aber-banc

About our sink repair in Aber-banc

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aber-banc: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Aber-banc

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aber-banc. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Aber-banc

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aber-banc use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
