- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dolau as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
