Common questions in Llandoche
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Sink repair at your home in Llandoche
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Llandoche and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llandoche. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Llandoche
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Llandoche
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Llandoche. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
