About our sink repair in Blaengarw

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Blaengarw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blaengarw

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blaengarw as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Blaengarw

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
