Landlord and trade work in Sketty
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sketty as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
About our sink repair in Sketty
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Sketty
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Sketty
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Honest limits
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
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
