Sink repair at your home in Penrith
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penrith and across Cumbria.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Penrith
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What affects the price in Penrith
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Penrith, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Penrith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Penrith
Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement.
