What affects the price in Gwernyfed

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gwernyfed. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gwernyfed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
