Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair in Llansamlet, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Llansamlet

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Llansamlet

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Llansamlet customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llansamlet. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
