Questions from Dowlais Top
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Dowlais Top and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Go 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
