Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Akeley. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Akeley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Akeley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Do you need sink repair in Akeley?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
