About our sink repair in Rhydargaeau

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. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we work on in Rhydargaeau

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Rhydargaeau

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Rhydargaeau included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

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.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.
