Landlords, agents and businesses in Sain Dunwyd
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sain Dunwyd use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t 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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Sain Dunwyd?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Sain Dunwyd
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
