When to call us in Penhurst

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Penhurst

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Common questions in Penhurst

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How do I book?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Penhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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 polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
