Sink repair in Pentre-bâch

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Pentre-bâch

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA48 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentre-bâch

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Pentre-bâch

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pentre-bâch. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
