DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

What else we do in Penrhos
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repairing versus replacing in Penrhos
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Penrhos. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Questions from Penrhos
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Penrhos included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
