Landlord and trade work in Elton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Elton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Elton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?
We work UK-wide, so Elton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
