How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Sink repair in Allt-yr-yn, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

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 quote without visiting.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Allt-yr-yn

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do I have to be there?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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