What affects the price in Chwilog

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

About our sink repair in Chwilog

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about sink repair in Chwilog

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How much does sink repair cost in Chwilog?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chwilog use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
