Sink repair in Pentirvin

Sink repair at your home in Pentirvin

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Pentirvin

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Pentirvin

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Pentirvin, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
