Sink repair in Aberbargoed

Sink repair in Aberbargoed, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Aberbargoed

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Aberbargoed?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aberbargoed and the rest of Caerphilly. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Caerphilly, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in Aberbargoed

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Aberbargoed

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
