Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gazeley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere like Gazeley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Gazeley

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

Rented homes near Kennett station (about 2.3 miles north-west) change hands often, and repairing basins between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Older homes around Gazeley may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.

Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
