How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Tonteg

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tonteg. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Tonteg

Do you come to Tonteg?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tonteg from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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