Sink repair at your home in Tynewydd

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NP22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

Common problems we fix in Tynewydd

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Tynewydd: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you work in Tynewydd?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
