Sink repair at your home in Penyrheol

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

Repairing versus replacing in Penyrheol

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penyrheol. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Penyrheol questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover the entire of Swansea?

Everywhere in the UK, Penyrheol included. Travel is included in the price.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA4 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
