Questions from St David's
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Landlord and trade work in St David's
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St David's. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St David's. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in St David's get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Advice
Do you need sink repair in St David's?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
