Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we handle sink repair in Bloomsbury

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

Bloomsbury questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

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 and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Bloomsbury?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
