Landlord and trade work in Chislet
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Chislet
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Signs you need sink repair in Chislet
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Chislet contact us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chislet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings

Chislet: your questions answered
Do you come to Chislet?
We do. We send a technician to Chislet for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
