Landlord and trade work in Doe Lea
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Doe Lea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Doe Lea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Do you need sink repair in Doe Lea?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Your questions about sink repair in Doe Lea
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S44 postcode.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
