Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tyddyn gwyn. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Tyddyn gwyn, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tyddyn gwyn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Tyddyn gwyn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Common questions in Tyddyn gwyn
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does sink repair cost in Tyddyn gwyn?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When to call us in Tyddyn gwyn
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
