How we handle sink repair in Tan-y-Bwlch

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, on 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Tan-y-Bwlch questions

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.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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

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

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tan-y-Bwlch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need sink repair in Tan-y-Bwlch

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
