How we handle sink repair in Gwalchmai

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Gwalchmai

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we work on in Gwalchmai

  • Belfast and butler sinks

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Gwalchmai

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

FAQs for Gwalchmai

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Gwalchmai?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gwalchmai.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
