What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

FAQs for Pen-y-banc

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA31 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Do you cover Pen-y-banc?

We do. Technicians travel to Pen-y-banc from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-banc

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-banc

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
