How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

About our sink repair in Goytre

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Neath Port Talbot.

Questions from Goytre

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Goytre?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Materials we work on in Goytre

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
