Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradbourne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Bradbourne

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Common questions in Bradbourne
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
