Questions from Bishopston
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bishopston. Prices do not change with location.
Do you come to Bishopston?
We do. We send a technician to Bishopston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
