Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Frettenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Your questions about sink repair in Frettenham
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Frettenham.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Frettenham

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Frettenham?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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 your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
