Sink repair for Nantyglo homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Sink repair at your home in Nantyglo

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Nantyglo. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Nantyglo questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can landlords book you?

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

Are there extra charges for Nantyglo?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Nantyglo?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Nantyglo from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we are called out for in Nantyglo

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
