About our sink repair in Twyn-yr-odyn

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
