Common questions in Sowhill
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Sowhill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?
All of Torfaen, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Sink repair at your home in Sowhill
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sowhill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Sowhill
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Sowhill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Sowhill
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
