- The colour and finish to match

When a repair isn’t the answer

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Ynysmeudwy
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA8 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
