When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gadlys

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Gadlys questions

Do you work in Gadlys?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gadlys and the rest of Flintshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Gadlys?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Do you cover the whole of Flintshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Gadlys included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
