DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Talybont

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Talybont. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Our hiring checklist

Talybont questions

Do you work in Talybont?

We do. We send a technician to Talybont for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
