Sink repair in The Valley

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Sink repair at your home in The Valley

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Valley as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Valley

For anyone letting property in or around The Valley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

The Valley: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including The Valley and the rest of Pembrokeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to The Valley. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in The Valley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
