Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Pen-y-fan
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Pen-y-fan is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-fan

Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
