For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Ab Kettleby: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ab Kettleby.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Ab Kettleby?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Clients typically contact us about:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
