What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

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

How we handle sink repair in Briton Ferry

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Briton Ferry

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

What affects the price in Briton Ferry

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Briton Ferry

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in Briton Ferry contact us are:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
