What else we do in Drefach
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Drefach
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work in Drefach?
We do. We send a technician to Drefach for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Drefach
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Drefach, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
