Pontardawe: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Pontardawe?
We do. We send a technician to Pontardawe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Pontardawe included. Travel is included in the price.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontardawe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
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 tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Pontardawe?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
