For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Advice
Common questions in Pen-Llyn
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Pen-Llyn included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Pen-Llyn?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
