Sink repair at your home in Liswerry

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Liswerry

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Liswerry

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Liswerry?

We do. Technicians travel to Liswerry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally 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.
