Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Criccieth

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Criccieth?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Criccieth

If you manage property in Criccieth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Criccieth. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
