When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about sink repair in Pen-y-wern
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Pen-y-wern?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pen-y-wern. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What affects the price in Pen-y-wern
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-y-wern. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
