Your questions about sink repair in Gilfach
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlord and trade work in Gilfach
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What a repair can’t fix

- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gilfach. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
