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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Broxbourne

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broxbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Broxbourne: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
