Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Rhigos

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

The entire UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
