How we handle sink repair in Penhale
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Penhale
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Penhale clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we’re called out for in Penhale
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Penhale
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
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.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Penhale: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
