How we handle sink repair in Pen-y-garn

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin

If you are in Pen-y-garn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Pen-y-garn

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • 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.
