How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Common problems we fix in Taibach

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Common reasons people in Taibach contact us include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Your questions about sink repair in Taibach

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Taibach?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA13 postcode.

Do you cover Taibach?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Taibach and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
