Landlord and trade work in Abberton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Sink repair at your home in Abberton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Abberton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Abberton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Other services in Abberton
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Abberton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Abberton
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
