Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Sink repair in Llanbedr without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Llanbedr: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you come to Llanbedr?

We do. Technicians travel to Llanbedr from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace in Llanbedr?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
