Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Ponterwyd
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ponterwyd
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ponterwyd use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
