Common questions in Aberystwyth

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Aberystwyth and the rest of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Aberystwyth. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
