Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair in Neath Abbey without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Neath Abbey and across Neath Port Talbot.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Neath Abbey customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

What affects the price in Neath Abbey

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
