Glyncoch questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Glyncoch?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What affects the price in Glyncoch
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
When to call us in Glyncoch
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again

Repair or replace: which is better?

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
