Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Ystradgynlais, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Ystradgynlais
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
