FAQs for Rhyn
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Rhyn. Prices do not change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How we handle sink repair in Rhyn
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rhyn as everywhere else we work.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace in Rhyn?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rhyn. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
