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.

What we are called out for in Pen-dre

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

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.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pen-dre. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Questions from Pen-dre

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
