About sink repair in Torfaen

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairing versus replacing

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together.

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What affects the price in Torfaen

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Torfaen. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Torfaen

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

  • Cracks starting at the waste
