Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need sink repair in Georgetown
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Georgetown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Georgetown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Georgetown: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Georgetown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CF15 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Georgetown
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
