Sink repair for Pontrilas homes

Sink repair in Pontrilas without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Pontrilas and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontrilas

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontrilas as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pontrilas. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Pontrilas and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Signs you need sink repair in Pontrilas

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
