How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tyla Garw. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is

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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyla Garw

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price
