Work for landlords and builders

Sink repair in Y Fron, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Common questions in Y Fron
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gwynedd.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Y Fron. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
