Sink repair near Treowen

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Treowen

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Caerphilly?

We cover the entire UK, including Treowen and the rest of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Treowen

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in Treowen

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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, with colour mixed on site.
