Landlord and trade work in Digswell
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Sink repair in Digswell without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need sink repair in Digswell?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
