Felindre questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Felindre?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA13 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Felindre?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Felindre
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Felindre. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairing versus replacing in Felindre
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
