FAQs for Pen-y-Dre

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How much does sink repair cost in Pen-y-Dre?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Pen-y-Dre

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-y-Dre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
