Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Bryn-y-waen

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
