What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

About our sink repair in Borth

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Borth

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

Do you need sink repair in Borth?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
