Sink repair in Pontneddfechan

Sink repair in Pontneddfechan, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairing versus replacing in Pontneddfechan

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Pontneddfechan

  • Vanity unit basins

Common questions in Pontneddfechan

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will there be a smell?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
