Landlord and trade work in Cold Harbour
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
