Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. 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.

Sink repair at your home in Penwood
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Penwood
Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Penwood. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penwood. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Penwood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
