Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Penbeagle

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Penbeagle

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it messy?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Penbeagle

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
