For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Llyswyrny, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llyswyrny. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Llyswyrny and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Llyswyrny

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about sink repair in Llyswyrny

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Llyswyrny?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Llyswyrny from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
