Questions from Adamsdown

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Adamsdown?

We do. We send a technician to Adamsdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

About our sink repair in Adamsdown

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we are called out for in Adamsdown

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Common reasons people in Adamsdown contact us are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Adamsdown

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
