Ystalyfera: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ystalyfera?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Ystalyfera
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
