About our sink repair in Cefn Rhigos

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cefn Rhigos, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about sink repair in Cefn Rhigos

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
