What else we do in Penenden Heath
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penenden Heath
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Penenden Heath
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

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 and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
