When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Sink repair in Fochriw, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Fochriw questions
Do you come to Fochriw?
We do. We send a technician to Fochriw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Fochriw
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fochriw
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Fochriw, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
