We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in Pontycymer?

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

10 questions to ask before you book

Pontycymer questions

Are there extra charges for Pontycymer?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you come to Pontycymer?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pontycymer for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How much does sink repair cost in Pontycymer?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
