Common questions in Cannon Hill
Do you cover Cannon Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Cannon Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cannon Hill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cannon Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What else we do in Cannon Hill
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
