Sink repair in Bwlchtocyn, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze.

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

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bwlchtocyn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bwlchtocyn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
