Questions from Braunstone Frith
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Braunstone Frith
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
