Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Castle Quarter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Quarter

For anyone letting property in or around Castle Quarter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
