For landlords and businesses
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 price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Bottom o' th' Moor
What does sink repair cost?

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

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out

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

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
