For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duporth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Sink repair in Duporth, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we’re called out for in Duporth
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Duporth
What happens if you find more damage?

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
