Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Gallt-y-foel
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Gallt-y-foel?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Gallt-y-foel contact us include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LL55 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
