Questions from Minffordd
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Minffordd
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Minffordd
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
