Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Elmhurst
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elmhurst. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elmhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
