Cynffig: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Cynffig
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cynffig. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
