For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Gastard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Gastard?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gastard. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Gastard

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you work in Gastard?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gastard and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What we are called out for in Gastard

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
