About our sink repair in Tre'r-ddol

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

Do you need sink repair in Tre'r-ddol?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tre'r-ddol use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. 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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Tre'r-ddol

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
