Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Penn Street

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Penn Street customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

Penn Street questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Buckinghamshire.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Penn Street

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

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 usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.
