Sink repair in Cynwyd, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Cynwyd

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Everywhere in the UK, Cynwyd included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
