- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

FAQs for Pentrecagal
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
