Landlords, agents and businesses in Bontnewydd

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need sink repair in Bontnewydd

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How it works

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

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Bontnewydd

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repairing versus replacing in Bontnewydd

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Bontnewydd clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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