Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Pendre

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Pendre and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Pendre, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Pendre

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Common problems we fix in Pendre

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
