How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carreghofa, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
