Trusted sink repair in Bridgend

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle sink repair in Bridgend

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Bridgend: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Bridgend

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
