Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Exton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, 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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Exton?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
