Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefechan

For anyone letting property in or around Trefechan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Trefechan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
