Landlord and trade work in Penelewey
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Penelewey
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Penelewey
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Penelewey?
We do. Technicians travel to Penelewey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Penelewey. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
