Tresevern Croft questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tresevern Croft. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Tresevern Croft get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
