Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Galon Uchaf, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Galon Uchaf
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We cover the whole UK, including Galon Uchaf and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?

Can I fix it myself?
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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
