Landlord and trade work in Gunn

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gunn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Gunn

  • Crazing in the glaze

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
