Sink repair for Penygelli homes

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair in Penygelli, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

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