Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

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

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ciliau Aeron, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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.

Repair or replace in Ciliau Aeron?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
