Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Sink repair in Pen-y-Bont, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Pembrokeshire.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Pembrokeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Pen-y-Bont

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

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How much does sink repair cost in Pen-y-Bont?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-Bont

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
