Pien: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Pien?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pien for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we handle sink repair in Pien
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Pien
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Pien
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pien. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What else we do in Pien
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
