What affects the price in Penrhiwtyn
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penrhiwtyn. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Penrhiwtyn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically 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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
