About our sink repair in Pen-dre
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- A period basin that needs restoring

- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Pen-dre, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pen-dre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
