Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we handle sink repair in Poundffald

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poundffald use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Poundffald, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Poundffald: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Poundffald?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Poundffald and the rest of Swansea. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
