DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Llancowryd
If you manage property in Llancowryd, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llancowryd use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Llancowryd
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Llancowryd?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Llancowryd
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Llancowryd. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Other services in Llancowryd
Do you need sink repair in Llancowryd?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
