When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

FAQs for Caergwrle

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Wrexham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you cover Caergwrle?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Caergwrle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caergwrle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wrexham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
