Sink Repair across Neath Port Talbot

Sink repair across Neath Port Talbot: what to expect

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching.

Common problems we fix in Neath Port Talbot

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Neath Port Talbot

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
