Sink repair in Gwernymynydd without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwernymynydd use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Flintshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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.

Choosing a repair company

Gwernymynydd questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Flintshire.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gwernymynydd. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
