Sink repair for Trewern homes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Sink repair at your home in Trewern

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trewern

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Trewern, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Signs you need sink repair in Trewern

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Trewern

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we do, step by step

On the day, 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. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Trewern

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
