Maen-y-groes questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SA45 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Maen-y-groes and the rest of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Maen-y-groes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in Maen-y-groes?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Signs you need sink repair in Maen-y-groes

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
