Glyntaff: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Glyntaff?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF37 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
