Your questions about sink repair in Risca
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Risca. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
