Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

Questions from Pennard

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work in Pennard?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pennard. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Most clients in Pennard get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Pennard

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pennard

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Pennard

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Pennard, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
