Sink repair in Blaenplwyf without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Near you in Blaenplwyf

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Blaenplwyf

Your questions about sink repair in Blaenplwyf
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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 OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
