Sink repair near Treflach

How we handle sink repair in Treflach

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Treflach

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Treflach, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Treflach, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
