Sink repair in Pen-yr-heol, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Pen-yr-heol questions

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pen-yr-heol. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pen-yr-heol. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Pen-yr-heol get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
