Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwrt-y-defaid as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we work on in Cwrt-y-defaid

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
