Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Treworlas

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Treworlas?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Treworlas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Treworlas

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
