FAQs for Aberarth

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you cover the whole of Ceredigion?

Across the UK, so Aberarth is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberarth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Aberarth

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Common reasons people in Aberarth contact us are:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
