DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Common questions in Llanddunwyd
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does sink repair cost in Llanddunwyd?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF71 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Llanddunwyd?
We do. We send a technician to Llanddunwyd for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Llanddunwyd
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
