Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Llanfedw

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you cover Llanfedw?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llanfedw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
