Landlords, agents and businesses in Albury

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Albury

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How much does sink repair cost in Albury?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Albury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
