DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair in Quarr-Clydach without replacing anything

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Quarr-Clydach: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Quarr-Clydach?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Quarr-Clydach

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Quarr-Clydach use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need sink repair in Quarr-Clydach?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
