Sink repair in Tan-y-lan without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

If you’re in Tan-y-lan and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Conwy and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
