From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Heol-ddu, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. 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. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
