Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhostryfan

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhostryfan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Rhostryfan

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Rhostryfan questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Rhostryfan?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rhostryfan and the rest of Gwynedd. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gwynedd.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rhostryfan. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it

  • A photo taken from further back

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Rhostryfan

Repairing versus replacing in Rhostryfan

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
