What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check 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 typically be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Tal-y-bont questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Tal-y-bont and the rest of Conwy. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Landlord and trade work in Tal-y-bont
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Conwy and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
