Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braddocks Hay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Sink repair in Braddocks Hay without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Braddocks Hay: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need sink repair in Braddocks Hay

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
