Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

About our sink repair in Tŷ Glyn

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tŷ Glyn as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Tŷ Glyn

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tŷ Glyn.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Tŷ Glyn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tŷ Glyn. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tŷ Glyn

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Tŷ Glyn

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tŷ Glyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
