For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennycross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Pennycross
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Pennycross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pennycross. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
