What affects the price in Rhos-fawr
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rhos-fawr. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Rhos-fawr
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Rhos-fawr is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When to call us in Rhos-fawr
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
