Glynllan questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Glynllan and the rest of Bridgend. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Glynllan?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Glynllan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we’re called out for in Glynllan
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. 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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
