DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairing versus replacing in Caerhendy

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caerhendy. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
