Landlord and trade work in Bwlch
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
