DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bettws. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bettws

For anyone letting property in or around Bettws, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Bettws

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Bettws?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bettws. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Bettws?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP20 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Newport. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace in Bettws?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
