Sink repair for Pen-y-ffordd homes

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Sink repair in Pen-y-ffordd without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pen-y-ffordd and across Flintshire.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-ffordd

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Flintshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-ffordd as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Pen-y-ffordd

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Flintshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Pen-y-ffordd

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

Common reasons people in Pen-y-ffordd contact us include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Pen-y-ffordd?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
