Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Drybrook. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Common questions in Drybrook
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
