Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Bryn-y-maen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
