About our sink repair in Pen-rallt

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Pen-rallt questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Pen-rallt?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Common problems we fix in Pen-rallt

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Choosing a repair company

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Pen-rallt

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pen-rallt, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-rallt use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
