FAQs for Trevarren
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Sink repair in Trevarren without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips around the rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Trevarren and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Trevarren
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Trevarren. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trevarren. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
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 whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
