Need sink repair in Heolgerrig?

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we handle sink repair in Heolgerrig

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heolgerrig, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in Heolgerrig?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
