Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Blaenporth

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

Repairs by material

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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blaenporth. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blaenporth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
