What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Brynhyfryd

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brynhyfryd

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brynhyfryd as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Brynhyfryd

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  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. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
