How we handle sink repair in Minffordd

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Minffordd

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need sink repair in Minffordd

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

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

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minffordd

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
