Trusted sink repair in Cowbridge

Sink repair in Cowbridge, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What affects the price in Cowbridge

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

When a repair isn’t the answer

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
