Sink repair in Tan-y-maes, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Tan-y-maes questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?
Everywhere in the UK, Tan-y-maes included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tan-y-maes?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Tan-y-maes
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
