Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Garden City
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Garden City questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover the whole of Blaenau Gwent?
We cover the whole UK, including Garden City and the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
