Sink repair near Llandovery

How we handle sink repair in Llandovery

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Llandovery

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llandovery as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • 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 whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Common questions in Llandovery

Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Llandovery?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Llandovery. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
