About our sink repair in Pentrebach

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Pentrebach

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Pentrebach

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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
