Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gaddesby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Gaddesby

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does sink repair cost in Gaddesby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Gaddesby?

We do. We send a technician to Gaddesby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace in Gaddesby?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
