Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we do, step by step

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Llanllwchhaearn
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Llanllwchhaearn
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanllwchhaearn. The price reflects:

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
