Landlord and trade work in Colkirk
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colkirk as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Colkirk
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Colkirk included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work in Colkirk?
We do. We send a technician to Colkirk for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Colkirk?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Colkirk, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
