How to compare quotes

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Rhydyfelin questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Rhydyfelin?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work in Rhydyfelin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rhydyfelin and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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