Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Llwyn

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Llwyn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Llwyn is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llwyn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Llwyn. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Llwyn

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
