Sink repair for Llansantffraid homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Our hiring checklist

Llansantffraid: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY23 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Llansantffraid and the rest of Ceredigion. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
