How we handle sink repair in Croes-lan

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Your questions about sink repair in Croes-lan

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Croes-lan included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

When to call us in Croes-lan

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
