Llwyncelyn: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Llwyncelyn?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llwyncelyn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What affects the price in Llwyncelyn
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llwyncelyn. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Llwyncelyn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Llwyncelyn
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Llwyncelyn
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
