Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Your questions about sink repair in Bridgerule
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting 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 will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
