Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Tircoed
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
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 fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we are called out for in Tircoed
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
What else we do in Tircoed
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
