Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llyswen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need sink repair in Llyswen

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Common reasons people in Llyswen contact us are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
