Landlord and trade work in Gilwern
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, 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. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Gilwern
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilwern
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gilwern. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Gilwern
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
