About our sink repair in Trecastle

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Trecastle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  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 it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Your questions about sink repair in Trecastle

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price sink repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
