About our sink repair in Penselwood

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Penselwood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penselwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Penselwood: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Penselwood and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Penselwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penselwood and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

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.

What affects the price in Penselwood

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penselwood. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Penselwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Penselwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Penselwood

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
