What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Fron

Fron: your questions answered

Do you cover Fron?

We do. We send a technician to Fron for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 generally cheaper.

Honest limits

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Fron

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

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.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
