How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Llanwnda questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Llanwnda?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How we price sink repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

If you are in Llanwnda and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanwnda

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Llanwnda. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
