Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
