For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Boyland Common
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Boyland Common included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, 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 the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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 usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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 quote.

What else we do in Boyland Common
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
