Your questions about sink repair in Tre-Derwen
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
About our sink repair in Tre-Derwen
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tre-Derwen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

What else we do in Tre-Derwen
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
