Questions from Llangower
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gwynedd.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
