Landlord and trade work in Botolphs

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Botolphs: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
