Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Castle Caereinion

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Castle Caereinion included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Castle Caereinion

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Castle Caereinion, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Castle Caereinion. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
