- A crack near the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Gilfach Goch: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
The entire UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
