How we handle sink repair in Trefor
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trefor and across Gwynedd.

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefor
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trefor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
