  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving

  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

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

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Trethomas

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you cover Trethomas?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Trethomas and the rest of Caerphilly. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you cover the entire of Caerphilly?

Across the UK, and that includes Trethomas. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trethomas

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Trethomas, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
