Questions from Bassaleg
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Bassaleg?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bassaleg. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Bassaleg get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bassaleg use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
