How we handle sink repair in Llanrhidian

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Llanrhidian questions

Do you cover the entire of Swansea?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Llanrhidian. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Llanrhidian?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llanrhidian from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Llanrhidian and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your basin is made of matters

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.
