Sink repair in Eglwysilan

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Sink repair in Eglwysilan without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Eglwysilan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Eglwysilan

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Eglwysilan: your questions answered

Do you cover Eglwysilan?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Eglwysilan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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