How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing in Abertridwr

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Abertridwr questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Abertridwr. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Abertridwr, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
