Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Common questions in Llangynog

Will you leave a mess?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Llangynog

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Llangynog. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
