Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What affects the price in Ysbyty Ystwyth

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Ysbyty Ystwyth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
