When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Caereithin
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Caereithin
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
Common questions in Caereithin
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA5 postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Caereithin?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Caereithin. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
The process
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 job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
