Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Common questions in Boroughby
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Boroughby

- Whether the price covers travel
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
