What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Llandygai

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Llandygai, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Llandygai

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Llandygai: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
