Questions from Old Colwyn

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Old Colwyn?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Colwyn and the rest of Conwy. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Old Colwyn

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Old Colwyn

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Old Colwyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
