Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Maelor South. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Maelor South

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Maelor South, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Maelor South

Are you accredited?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

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