Sink repair for Polgigga homes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair at your home in Polgigga

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Polgigga as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we’re called out for in Polgigga

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Common reasons people in Polgigga contact us are:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

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

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Polgigga

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Polgigga?

We do. We send a technician to Polgigga for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Polgigga. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
