When to call us in Cymmer
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cymmer. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
