Sink repair for Henfynyw homes

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henfynyw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

How we handle sink repair in Henfynyw

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Henfynyw. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
