How it works
Your technician turns 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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we’re called out for in Cwm-y-glo
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwm-y-glo
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Cwm-y-glo
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
