Landlord and trade work in Aike
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Aike
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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aike: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Aike?
We do. Technicians travel to Aike from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Aike
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
