Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Tre-gynwer

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Tre-gynwer questions

How much does sink repair cost in Tre-gynwer?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Carmarthenshire.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tre-gynwer

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

When to call us in Tre-gynwer

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
