Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need sink repair in Pentre Poeth?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Pentre Poeth: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Pentre Poeth?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pentre Poeth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
