DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Sink repair in Caegarw, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What affects the price in Caegarw

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caegarw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Caegarw

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
