Garndiffaith questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Garndiffaith.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Torfaen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Garndiffaith?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garndiffaith use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
