What affects the price in Y Bala
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Y Bala and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Y Bala
Letting agents frequently 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’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What else we do in Y Bala
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Y Bala
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
