Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

FAQs for Cabal

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How much does sink repair cost in Cabal?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HR5 postcode.

Do you cover Cabal?

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

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Cabal included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Cabal

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Cabal

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
