Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cwm-y-glo. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
