How we handle sink repair in Manod

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

A basin cracked through and leaking
Leaks from the fittings
Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Manod

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

We clean the basin and check the damage.
The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
The repair is polished so it blends in.
You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

Avoid abrasive pads
Store toiletries on a shelf
Use mild cleaners only
Don’t overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
