DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pensford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Pensford

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
