Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Gateside
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Gateside is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gateside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
When to call us in Gateside
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Gateside contact us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
