When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

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

What we work on

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

Sink repair in Penycwm without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Penycwm questions

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Pembrokeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Penycwm

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Penycwm. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
