Risca East: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Risca East included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Risca East
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Risca East. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
