How sink repair works in Bridgend

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bridgend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Around Bridgend

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Archbishop McGrath Catholic High School, Coity Castle pub and Penybont Primary School. Bridgend has its own railway station: Bridgend station. Nearby you will also find Princess of Wales Hospital (0.6 miles north) and Designer Outlet Bridgend (1.6 miles north). Not far away are Cornelly Quarry Lake 2 and Brackla Hill.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Bridgend: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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