Your questions about sink repair in Pen-y-cae

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LL14 postcode.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wrexham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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 quote.

Related advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-cae

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

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.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
