Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

How we handle sink repair in Pontyclun

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in Pontyclun?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips around the rim

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Pontyclun

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF72 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
