Landlord and trade work in Cymmer

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Cymmer

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

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
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Cymmer: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

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.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
