Landlord and trade work in Drypool
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drypool use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Sink repair in Drypool without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Drypool
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Drypool.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Drypool
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are 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.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
