Sink repair for Tre-gof homes

Sink repair in Tre-gof, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tre-gof and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tre-gof. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Signs you need sink repair in Tre-gof

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Tre-gof: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Tre-gof?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the entire of Swansea?

The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

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