DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lower Brynamman. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
