Repair or replace in Gwern?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Gwern questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Gwern?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gwern from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Gwern
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gwern. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
