Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Penlan
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Penlan?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penlan and the rest of Swansea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Penlan, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
