Landlord and trade work in Ystrad Mynach
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 Ystrad Mynach as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ystrad Mynach. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Ystrad Mynach, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Ystrad Mynach
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
