For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gilshochill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What else we do in Gilshochill
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need sink repair in Gilshochill
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Gilshochill questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
