Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring.

Cwrt y Gollen: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwrt y Gollen
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Other services in Cwrt y Gollen
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Cwrt y Gollen
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Cwrt y Gollen
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
