Trusted sink repair in Trelech

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Trelech?

We do. Technicians travel to Trelech from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Trelech, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Trelech get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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