What affects the price in Heol-y-Cyw

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Heol-y-Cyw and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Your questions about sink repair in Heol-y-Cyw

How soon can you come?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Heol-y-Cyw?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
