Sink repair in Botwnnog, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Botwnnog and across Gwynedd.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Botwnnog. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
