Sink repair in Cadle, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts 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’ll get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Cadle
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Cadle: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Cadle is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cadle?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cadle. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
