Your questions about sink repair in Pen-dre

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pen-dre.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Pen-dre included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pen-dre. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Common problems we fix in Pen-dre

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-dre

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-dre

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
