Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

What we are called out for in Tŷ'r-frân

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Tŷ'r-frân
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
