Common questions in Wenallt
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Sink repair in Wenallt without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Wenallt
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wenallt as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
