DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Hoel-laethog
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Bridgend. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hoel-laethog. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
If you are in Hoel-laethog and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
