How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Talsarnau, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Talsarnau

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Talsarnau. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Talsarnau, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Talsarnau

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Talsarnau?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL47 postcode.

Do you come to Talsarnau?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Talsarnau from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
