Landlord and trade work in Egginton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our sink repair in Egginton
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Egginton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Egginton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Egginton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
