Sink repair in Llanfrechfa without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
