About our sink repair in Penyard
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Penyard
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
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.
How much does sink repair cost in Penyard?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penyard
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penyard. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF47 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
