Trusted sink repair in Hafodyrynys

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hafodyrynys. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go 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.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
