DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Dinas Powys questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
