Your questions about sink repair in Gilfachreda
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gilfachreda?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Gilfachreda. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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 usually the cheaper route.
