What else we do in Cae-clyd
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Your questions about sink repair in Cae-clyd
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
