How we handle sink repair in Dinorwig

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Dinorwig

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  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. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Dinorwig

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dinorwig. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
