10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle sink repair in Meliden

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Meliden

Are there extra charges for Meliden?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Meliden

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
