FAQs for Cwm
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cwm.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Cwm?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cwm and the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
About our sink repair in Cwm
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cwm as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we are called out for in Cwm
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cwm. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cwm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
