Sink repair in Llanfrothen

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Sink repair at your home in Llanfrothen

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Llanfrothen: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you accredited?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Llanfrothen is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Llanfrothen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
