About our sink repair in Y Tymbl
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Y Tymbl and across Carmarthenshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Tymbl as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Y Tymbl
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Y Tymbl?

Look out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include

- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
Repair or replace in Y Tymbl?
