How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melin-cwrt

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melin-cwrt use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Melin-cwrt questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Do you come to Melin-cwrt?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Melin-cwrt. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Melin-cwrt?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin

If you are in Melin-cwrt and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace in Melin-cwrt?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
