Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fritchley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle sink repair in Fritchley

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Fritchley

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does sink repair cost in Fritchley?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Are there extra charges for Fritchley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fritchley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
