Sink repair in Gerlan

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Gerlan questions

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Gwynedd?

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gwynedd.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL57 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Gerlan

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gerlan. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Gerlan

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gerlan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Gerlan customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
