Near you in Talley
In Talley, that means homes near St Michael's Church and the streets around them. Talley’s nearest station is Llangadog station, about 4.6 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Maes y Castell (2.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Allt y Parc and Upper Talley Lake.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Talley: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
