Sink repair near Llanishen

Sink repair in Llanishen, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llanishen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanishen as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Llanishen questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanishen

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
